There's not much I can add beyond; our thoughts are with you and hope your sister is found soon.
My wife has met your sister on a few occasions through work and said she was a lovely person.
We'll keep our fingers crossed for you.
Thank you. The level of support and assistance we've had bears out your wife's feelings - a great many people think warmly of her.My wife has met your sister on a few occasions through work and said she was a lovely person.

Any news OP, worrying that there's been no update from you for over a week now, but still keeping fingers (and everything else crossed).
Thanks. Unfortunately not. Police are still actively searching and pursuing lines of enquiry - importantly, not just focussing on the worst possible outcomes. We didn't go back up north to search at the weekend, as the weather was foul. But planning another trip back up as soon as the weather clears up. Police are going to do another media release soon to try to keep the story in the public eye.
I've been trying this week to consciously focus on other things - including, I confess, diiving into a couple of other threads on here - just to try to keep moving. And work couldn't take a back seat forever.
But it is still terrible for all of us. We don't know what's happened. She vanished on 16th June. If, which we sincerely hope did not happen, she ended up in Loch Doon then the Nicola Bulley case suggests it could take quite a while before evidence presents itself - the Loch is very cold, even at this time of year.
So we maintain all the hope we can. And are extremely grateful for all of the positive comments and thoughts.

I'm sure you've already considered this but there is a group called WalkHighlands who have a FB group and a website. They have nearly 150k members who walk the trails of Scotland. Maybe worth a post on their group.?
Thank you. I'll check if anyone has contacted them and, if not, run that one down.Hugo Stiglitz said:
Have there been any banking updates, ANPR hits since and did she take her phone - can they rerun phone work incase she's turned it on briefly- that'll then ping immediately to the nearest mast.
Did she draw any significant money out and take her passport?
No ANPR - her car was found 24 hours after she drove there, and recovered by Police. Lots of activity to run down other vehicles in the area, however.Did she draw any significant money out and take her passport?
Also a lot of work been - and being still - done by Police cyber unit, who have been very patient with my sending them cell tower calculations. There's only 1 cell mast covering that area, very patchy (and often non-existent) reception, and so on, so no vector of travel, and no hits since. But pre-pay phones are easy to source.
As regards other questions, obv I won't give masses of detail on a public forum. But also worth noting that she is a missing person right now and, as such, is presumed to still be alive, and has a right to privacy. Police's job is not to return her to the family like a chattel, but to find her to ensure her safety. It isn't illegal to go missing, and going missing doesn't entitle even close family to know details of financial transactions and so on.
I am, however, confident Police Scotland have been running down very available lead, and I know many of the steps they've taken. Their response has been hugely impressive, enormously sensitive, and far greater than I might have expected in anticipation. I cannot praise them enough at this point.

In the patchy signal area have they used (or you pressed them) on using a drone?

I agree, it's not illegal to drop off grid and it does happen where people want a fresh start. Wiping the old life gives a sense of lifting off the shackles.
